Look, I know that "95% of America wants reasonable gun restrictions", or so the media says.

So Obama says.

So lots of people say.

So after The Senate said "NO" to more Gun Control, after 80 years of so-called "gun control" that has not done one damn thing to actually reduce gun violence (and in the most-jackbooted areas it can be argued it has doubled homicides or more!) there should be thousands of people willing to march from McPherson Square in Washington DC to support "common sense" gun control and "Stop the NRA" -- right?

Ok -- where are they?

To put this in perspective, this (below) is one of the shots I took from the Invisible Children protest that I attended last year, also in Washington DC:

That is "more or less" in front of the White House, and the crowd stretches all the way down the street well past the intersection -- and all the way the other direction too. That counted as a protest -- it was loud, it was long, and there were, I'd guess, 3,000 in attendance or thereabouts.

The above?(Top Picture, anti-gun protest)

That is an embarassment, there might have been 100 people there and it is a clear statement of exactly what sort of real backing you actually have for such a position.

They are NOT goign to give up until you and I lose our inalienable right to self protection via adequate measures/tools- Socialism is pounding at our door and they can’t get compeltely htere until peopel no longer have hte right to defend thermselvesd agaisnt a rogue govenrmwent

They can’t give it up. It’s a position they have to secure at some point one way or the other. It’s about power and they intend to have it all and when they do, we’ll see what leftists are really all about. guaranteed.

I hope they enjoy their ten minutes of absolute, unrestrained power, because that's about all they'll get.

What the leftists don't seem to realize, is if they get what they want, the rest of us are going to have a little 'something' to say about it. Guaranteed, they're not going to like it one bit when we're done 'talking'.

(To anger a conservative, tell him a lie. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.)

[[Or until we finally cowboy up toss every stinking leftist out of OUR country. ]]

That aint gonna happen- We had peopel fro mBrittaqin of all places BEGGING us NOT to go down the socilism road and they said “Once you are on that road you will NEVER be able to get peopel off it- they WILL fight for their ‘right to free stuff’ Before they will foight for their actual inalienable rights as protected by the constitution- The left KNOWS full well that htis last election pretty much sealed the fate of America for a very long time=- they saw Americans all across the ocuntry eager to vote for ‘free stuff’ for themselves by reelecting the one who promissed them hte msot free stuff-

Electiosn are no longer about what’s best for our coutnry, electiosn now have becoem a choice between two candidates based on who offers the msot ‘free stuff’

America spoke loud and clear that she no logner cares abotu future generations and whether htey will be fiscally soudn or not, they voted to stuff their own pockets NOW before the m oeny runs out

Once peopel start gettign welfare checks- You will never be able to pry them off their porches and away fro mtheir beer coolors to fight for anythign UNLESS you conivnce them that they are fightign to retain their welfare checks

[[Seeing as how you’ve totally given up on America, what’s your plan?]]

You got that wrong windlflier- I’m not the oen htat gave up on America- the poltiicians who USED to represent us have given up on it (Yes, a few still believe in it but are powerless agaisnt the establushement) and the peopel have given up and said so loud and lcear when they revoted dear leader in for antoehr devestating 4 years-

[[I mean, if it’s as broken as you say it is,]]

Are you sayign it’s not that broken? The midterm elections will determien IF thsi coutnry has ANY chance of regainign it’s moral compass or not- After watchign a destructive anti-American socialist narcisist get reelected for antoehr 4 years- I lsot a LOT of faith in The American people’s ability to do the right thing- I was merely dissappointed in America the first time when he got elected, wonderign how amerrica coudl be so guillible as to fall for his blatant BS- But after sufferign htrough 4 years of him doing NOTHING BUT destroyign htis coutnry further, and after seeing the coutnry I love in such disrepair thanks to his inaction, and his attackso n Everythign fro mthe surpeme court to Christans to thbe constitution, and seeign unemployement so high and gasolien pricces skyrocketted, and after listenign to the pundits assure us there was no way in hell he stood a chance of gettign reeelcted, and watchign huim get reelected anyways- Yes- you’re damn right I lsot a lot of faith and Yes, I agree with the folsk from Brittain who saido nce we start down that path it wil lbe nearly impossible to get peopel off of it- because I see the Effect socialism has had in places liek Greece, France, Spain etc etc etc where peopel are furious when they are finally told there’s no money left for their ‘free stuff’ and i’m weatchign them riot in those places and watchign them REFUSE to actaulyl go back to work

Am I disheartened? You bet I am- This was a great natiopn for a great many years UNTIL the right began capitulatign to the left and NOT fightign for our inalienable rights and UNTIL the left decided they werenm’t even goign to be coy abotu vioaltign oru rights any longer-, and UNTIL the Aemrican people spoek loud and clear that they want ‘their piece of thep ie- future generatiosn be damned’

Here is the link to the more important article written by Denninger. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=220166 We all know what he writes is true to the principals laid out in the documents he cites. There is nothing he wrote with which I would disagree. The writings of the founders and others bear this out. Print a copy and carry it with you to hand to the next JBT you run across. Simple really. The debate is over regarding our rights and all that is left to determine is who will remain standing when the smoke clears. If you can’t see that I do not know what else to tell you except look deeper than you have before to gain the understanding of what and why he wrote what he did. We may debate among like-thinking individuals as to the circumstances that will lead to our individual defensive stands; but clearly the debate is at an end with those who have no intention other than to bend us to their will. I only have one to whom I am responsible and it is to Him I owe my life and allegiance. Natural rights were granted by Him and only He may withdraw them.
